This thing is
B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!! Now
WHY, WHY can't Hasbro make a Leader Class Prime like
THIS!!??
I'd be willing to shell out $75-$100.00 for a ROTF-like Optimus with a richly-detailed vehicle, & a metallic color-scheme like this!
Instead, we'll have to hope Takara will once again come to the rescue with *gasp* actual, screen-accurate paint, while Hasbro's Movie Prime will be lucky to get any silver paint for his wheels.
I'll wait to see if what was shown at Toy Fair is what shows up in boxes on store shelves, but Hasbro isn't known for slathering their figures in paint, rather the opposite. Perhaps the Movie Line will be different & surprise fans with more than minimally painted figures.
The tendency of Hasbro to save a "penny" of paint is exemplified in the Titan Returns Line, which has been awesome, generally speaking. Except for some notable exceptions, like Galvatron's helmet fiasco & countless unpainted Titan Master faces, & lack of paint on wheels. For example, PM Optimus isn't a bad mold, despite the comparison with Takara Ginrai, he just needed a less pale, less anemic faded red, new rifles, & some silver paint on his wheels.
The Movie line looks pretty good, from what has been shown at Toy Fair, but I hope the actual production toys look just as sharp.
